Method

  1. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and add the pear wedges. Cook gently for a minute then add a knob of butter, a splash of sherry vinegar and a splash of brandy. Bubble until you have a syrupy liquid around the pears and then stir in the mustard. Turn the pears over once or twice to coat them all over.
  2. Lay out the pata negra slices and put a piece of pear, a piece of dolcelatte and 2 rocket leaves on each. Roll up tightly so they don't shed their filling when picked up. Cover with clingfilm until ready to serve.

    are these meant to be served with the pears hot or wrapped when the pears are cold?

    I trialed these, and then changed it slightly as too mustardy! reduced the mustard and added a bit of honey, then wrapped them up with all the other bits and put them in the fridge until they were needed. Everybody liked them and the honey added a touch of sweetness to counteract the saltiness of the Parma Ham and Dolcelette.

    A huge hit at our Christmas party - prepared all ingredients the day before and then assembled them! Will do them again

    I took Samantha's advice which was very good. Personally I found the blue cheese overpowering and if I made these again I might try Camembert instead.

    A big big hit, easy to make and very very tasty. Make sure to keep a good bite to the pears though as this makes them easier to roll!

    I made these for a special occasion as a starter, and I was so embarrased to serve them up. All went well making them, but assembling them?! I really do not know what went wrong. Most of them fell over, and the dish ended up looking an absolute mess!! I would not recommend this recipe!!
